Sabbath: Finding Rest in Family Ties
Image © Pacific Press
Sabbath Afternoon
Read for This Week’s Study: Genesis 34:1-31; Hebrews 11:17-22; Deuteronomy 4:29; 1 John 3.1-2; Genesis 39:1-23; Ephesians 6:1-13.
Memory Text: “You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen” ( 2 Peter 3.17-18, NKJV).
The young man carefully scanned the horizon. Then, finally, he saw them. He had been looking for his brothers for days. As he approached, waving and calling to the grim-faced group, he got anything but a warm welcome. His own brothers actually wanted to kill him. If it hadn’t been for Reuben, there may have been no story to tell. Reuben convinced the rest just to rough him up a bit and throw him into a dry well. Later, Judah came up with the grand scheme to get rid of him and make a bit of money, too, by selling him to some passing slave traders.
What an example of family dysfunction!
We get to choose many things in life, but not our family. No one is perfect, and none of us have perfect families and perfect family relationships. Some of us are blessed by parents, siblings, and other family members that reflect God’s love, but many have to settle for less than the ideal. Family relationships are often complicated and painful, leaving us restless, hurt, and carrying loads of emotional baggage that we, in turn, off-load on others.
How can we find God’s rest in this area of our lives? This week we turn to the story of Joseph and his family ties in order to watch God at work bringing healing and emotional rest despite dysfunctional family relationships.
Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, August 7.
Amen!

July 2021 President’s Video: “Miracle After Miracle”
This is a Good News Episode! There’s so much bad news out there that sometimes we fail to see what God is doing around the world—and some of it is pretty amazing! Below is a short video in which I share the good news of the incredible doors opening for Adventist World Radio right now. We are seeing miracle after miracle in places never before reached with the gospel message. Let me share just a couple highlights: · The largest brothel in the world is an actual city in Bangladesh. God has opened a door to secretly distribute more than 2,000 Godpods with not only the gospel and health message, but much more! Find out how we’re doing it! · AWR is opening evangelism centers in places that seemed impossible just a few years ago. Five of them will be in Bangladesh. Another center is already opening in Nazareth, and one is in none other than Iraq! Then there’s Bhutan, Sikkim and Thailand. Nothing is impossible with God! He’s working in the hearts of sincere people everywhere, and we love it when He uses Adventist World Radio to do it! #GoodNews Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUGXJTtAlyM
